15 years ago, @SenatorDurbin invited me to be his guest to the #SOTU and helped give me a new mission in life – I am so glad I have him as my mentor and friend in the Senate. https://t.co/L4cf09FowJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Thank you for joining for me tonight's #SOTU, Celeste! Proud to work together to help shine a light on environment justice in Illinois and across the nation. https://t.co/YJUaZxksHy — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet with the Presidents of @RockfordUniv and @bbcollege today to discuss my work to make higher education more accessible, increase federal support for higher education institutions and improve Veteran and servicemember education. https://t.co/uuHwAFzqRS — PolitiTweet.org

I was honored to receive the Congressional Champion Award, also awarded to so many disability advocacy icons including Senators Bob Dole and Tom Harkin and my friend Judy Heumann. Thank you to @jfederations for working tirelessly to expand disability rights. https://t.co/3qBwLyzy6e — PolitiTweet.org

“I had no idea that history was being made. I was just tired of giving up." A good reminder to never give up in pursuit of equality and justice. Happy Birthday, Rosa Parks! #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/nDuVRzPDhN — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @SenatorDurbin in announcing $84K in federal funds to help Grayville improve its water supply after flooding-related contamination last summer. Our rural communities deserve support & investments like these help them recover. Read more here: https://t.co/MwMcDRHWMb — PolitiTweet.org

150 years ago today, the 15th Amendment was ratified to ensure all citizens could exercise the right to vote, regardless of race or color. Let’s recommit ourselves to expanding voter rights and eliminating voter discrimination. We still have a lot to do. #BlackHistoryMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

With too many in power looking the other way, I’m pleased to shine a light on these issues by inviting Celeste Flores—a tireless environment justice advocate—as my #SOTU guest to help raise awareness of how these communities face public health challenges at alarming rates. https://t.co/8WadM5zikJ — PolitiTweet.org

Every American has the right to breathe safe air, drink clean water and live on uncontaminated land regardless of their zip code, the size of their wallet and the color of their skin; however, that’s often not the case for low income communities and people of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Just as I did three years ago, and as Trump weighs expanding his travel ban, I will keep pushing to end these harmful and hateful policies. https://t.co/kInCpCqiiS — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Trump has not stopped wrongfully characterizing entire countries, faiths, and peoples in dogged pursuit of his un-American, xenophobic and hateful policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's been three years since Donald Trump issued his first discriminatory travel ban, preventing well-vetted refugees and their families, green card holders and other travelers from entering the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Today on the 60th anniversary of the Woolworths sit-in, we remember the bravery and sacrifices of the Greensboro Four and the power of coming together to sit in for each other and for the betterment of our nation. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/lY5B6qm0i3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

To honor #BlackHistoryMonth, I wanted to share a powerful poem by Langston Hughes — a Harlem Renaissance icon — on what would have been his 118th birthday. https://t.co/gbhN41PguV — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This #BlackHistoryMonth I'm thinking about the great leaders and countless black people who have pushed our nation forward on the path to justice and equality, shaped our history and inspired generations. https://t.co/gNzR7iIPN5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Fair trials have witnesses & any acquittal in a sham trial is meaningless. I'm deeply disappointed that many Republican senators cared more about protecting Trump than protecting our Constitution&the rule of law. Read my full statement on tonight's vote: https://t.co/ePauyMfjjM — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

From “no Americans were harmed” due to the Iranian missile strikes against U.S. forces in Iraq to now at least 64. At least 64 servicemembers that have traumatic brain injuries – not 0. We need to get them care, not downplay the seriousness of their injuries. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

WATCH: I asked the House Managers yesterday if there is any documentary evidence of President Trump gathering information to justify withholding aid to Ukraine. @RepJasonCrow responded with “we have no evidence” Trump engaged in legitimate process for withholding foreign aid. https://t.co/UEg0OkZKdN — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorDurbin & I met with @Amtrak's CEO & secured commitments on several key accessibility requests. All Americans deserve safe, accessible & reliable transportation options. I'll keep holding Amtrak accountable as it implements these policy changes. https://t.co/wVz8KFuRG6 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

80 years ago today, the first #SocialSecurity check was issued. Hardworking people pay into Social Security their entire working lives, we need to ensure it's there when needed most. Despite Trump's latest threats to cut it, I'll keep working to ensure it's protected & expanded. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorDurbin & I are monitoring coronavirus cases in Illinois & are thankful to local medical personnel for quickly identifying the case & acting to limit exposure & provide care. We'll remain in close contact w/public health officials as they work to address this situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

@MSNBC Does that mean that no President can do anything wrong in an election year as long as he believes that him winning the election is good for the American people? That sounds like something coming out of North Korea, not Pennsylvania Avenue. — PolitiTweet.org
